Dear Stanley Story Readers,
About 15 years ago , I went to a garage sale here in Anchorage, Ak. It was a great sale. Unfortunately, an older man who was a bush pilot and hunter had passed away. There was all kinds of "men" stuff. The treasure I found for myself was an old, beat up Stanley Thermos. It's handle is not original and has been attached to it and the stopper is 1/3 broken off on the top. I thought if this guy used it all these years it's "good enough for me"!
I am a women construction worker. This thermos had been to Nome, Prudhoe Bay oil fields and so many other places here in Alaska I can't even remember. I have no idea how old it is but MY coffee is hot when everyone else isn't. I can't imagine getting a new thermos when this old one is already the best!!
